Note: Although The Highway Code shows many of the signs commonly in use, a comprehensive explanation of our signing system is given in the Department’s booklet Know Your Traffic Signs, which is on sale at booksellers. The booklet also illustrates and explains the vast majority of signs the road user is likely to encounter. The signs illustrated in The Highway Code are not all drawn to the same scale. In Wales, bilingual versions of some signs are used including Welsh and English versions of place names. Some older designs of signs may still be seen on the roads.

Nataana is now able to go to school, because visitors are taking a new excursion to Enkerari village in the Maasai Mara.
Income from tourists is being used to provide education for the children, as well as basic sanitation, running water and access to health care. Sustainable excursions have helped six communities in Kenya increase earnings by up to 800% and are now being extended to 27 more villages within the Maasai Mara.
